A Minute with Drexel: Moving Day
SUMMARY: Drexel Gilbert reflects on the mixed emotions of moving day—excitement for a new start and anxiety about the process. She compares this to other life changes like jobs, relationships, or learning new skills that simultaneously settle and rattle us. Drexel advises focusing on the positive reasons for change and remembering that difficulties are temporary. She connects this to the bold move made 249 years ago when 56 men signed the Declaration of Independence, driven by hope despite fear. Her message encourages embracing new challenges by concentrating on the good and taking that step forward.
